Ok, I have a decision to make. I have a 99 ZXI 1100. I love it; it runs like a scalded cat & is a blast to ride. I also have two bigger yamahas, but they're more like being on the family sedan. End of last season the XZI started bogging down when first accellerating -- it'd bog down for 30-45 seconds & then take off. I was busy so I took it to a shop -- but one I'd never used - to have the carbs rebuilt. They rebuilt them but it didn't resolve the problem. They say the tried several times. Ultimately charged me a few hours labor & no charge on the kits used.
When I got it back, it wouldn't even start. Again, very busy so took it to my local Kawi dealer. They tested it out & said it needed a stator. Now, i'm wondering if the bogging problem was ignition all along.
Any thoughts on that? I'm pretty mechanical, have an engine hoist & space to work on it so wouldn't actually mind pulling the motor to replaced the stator, but I hate going through all that if it's going to need new carbs too -- it's just not worth enough to justify that sort of expense.
Thoughts on whether the stator would cause the bogging problem?
